Application and July 11, 190s.

Be it known that L-Bnnn F. BARNES, a citi zen of'the United States, residing at Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tilting Bins; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and

' exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference" being bad to the accompanying drawings, and

to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in tilting bins comprising series of bins or boxes having pivotalpins on the sides so positioned as to counterbalance the same and in the'provision of alatch provided to normally hold the bin in place when tilted down or opened and so arranged that by lifting the latch the drawer or bin may be removed.

The invention consists, further, in various details of construction and in combinations and arrangements of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically defined in the appended claims.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this" application, and in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of a portion of a cabinet embodying my improved bins or boxes. Fig. 2 is a vertical --sectional view through the cabinet and bins, showing one of the bins tilted in dotted lines. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view through one of the bins or drawers and adjacent parts of the frame, and Fig. 4 is a detail View of the latch.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a suitable cabinet or housing for the bins, which may be of any desired shape and size and have as many bins or boxes mounted therein as maybe desired. In the present instance I have illustrated but two bins in my cabinet, and each bin is designated in the drawingsby letter B. The sides of each bin are recessed,

as at B, in from the bottom, and C is a socket-plate tittedin said slot and in which Serial No. 165,158. on model.)

boxes is provided by having a partition Iheld of the box or bin,-the lower end of said partiupper end is held by means of a hook N, seated in a pinch the upper edge ofsaid partition. By the provision of this display-front the bin may have the, appearance of being filled when in reality the bin may. be only partially filled, when the space intervening between the partition and the display-front may be filled to the top with asample of the contents of the bin.
